Phil Ochs  Christian cannons have fired at my days  With the warning beneath the holy blaze  And bow to our authority  Say the cannons of Christianity  Oh the children will be sent to schools  Minds of clay are molded to their rules  Learn to fear all of eternity  Warn the cannons of Christianity  Holy hands will count the money raised  Like a king the Lord is richly praised  On a cross of diamond majesty  Say the cannons of Christianity  Missionaries will travel on crusades  The word is given, the heathen souls are saved  Conversions to our morality  Sigh the cannons of Christianity  Come the wars and turn the rules around  Defend your soul on the battle ground  And the Lord will march beside me  Drone the cannons of Christianity  Cathedral walls will glitter with their gold  And the sermons speak through silver robes  Building castles amidst the poverty  Say the cannons of Christianity  Worship now and wash your sins away  Drop the coins, fall to your knees and pray  Cleanse the world of all hypocrisy  Smile the cannons of Christianity  Christian cannons have fired at my days  With the warning beneath the holy blaze  And bow to our authority  Say the cannons of Christianity  Cry the cannons of Christianity
